Chili Peppers fans must haves.......2007-05-13

This DVD is sooo fun. Lots of strange stuff, and if you are into seeing how one of the greatest bands on earth records and album, get "Funky Monks".

INSPIRING! LEGENDARY! FREAKING AMAZING!.......2006-12-22

This is one of the best music DVD's ever made...its not based on a live concert but the Making of the Chili Peppers LANDMARK ALBUM, "Blood, Sugar, Sex, Magic". Its Pure Magick...Rick Rubin and the Chili Peppers working together with INSANE CHEMISTRY! If you are a musician no matter what genre...this is a VERY Entertaining DVD not only that its very educational...you see the boys experimenting with sounds soooo cool! And if you are not a musician...YOU WILL SIMPLY LOVE IT! If you just started listening to the peppers...GET THIS!!!

AWESOME.......2006-11-30

Wow, I can't believe someone rated this as only one star. Sure there aren't any live performances, but you get to see the chili peppers making 'Blood Sugar Sex Magik,' Which is considering their most pivotal album. After watching the documentary, I can now listen to their music with a new appreciation. It's so neat watching them record, especially minor musical components of several songs such as "Apache Rose Peacock" and "Mellowship Slinky in B Major." This dvd is a MUST HAVE for any Red Hot Chili Peppers fan, especially if you're into their old stuff.

Witness the evolution of the greatest album of all time thru the camera lens of Gavin Bowden. Hear the band talk about the creative process of the album from its inception, the writing, the recording and the production with Rick Rubin. For two months in the spring of 1991, the band set up home and a recording studio in a huge mediterranean style manner. Each band member had their own room, (apart from Chad who travelled to and from the house from his own home everyday). It is interesting for the viewer to re-live the whole process from beginning to end over the 60min documentary. You even feel a sense of accomplishment yourself once the film is over. Although it is filmed in black and white and the sound is a little poor, this is a must see for all chili peppers fans who no doubt, share a spiritual bond with the band and feel this period in the Red Hot Chili Peppers was there best ever.
